Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our guest writers by answering the last Punny Poll. Nearly half of you didn’t notice that we had guest writers; I guess those “by [SOMEONE WHO IS NOT NICK]” lines at the start of the guest articles didn’t help. Another 30% didn’t really like what they read. You may continue seeing a few guest articles here and there in the future, perhaps with extremely large pictures of my face with a red X across it so you know I didn’t write it.

The other day, I picked up a penny from the ground and thought to myself, “Awesome, I’m one cent richer!” What I didn’t consider at the time was that the single penny represented 0.0000001% of my net worth and that I had probably picked up more germs than wealth. Perhaps it’s in my best interest to never pick up pennies again and stick with nickels and above, but I could miss the opportunity to score hundreds of dollars in free change. So instead I’ll turn to you for guidance, like I always do with my big important money decisions.

How would cutting Saturday mail delivery affect you?

Not one bit. Bring on the cut!

I like having the option of getting mail on Saturday, but I suppose I could live without it.
